3rd Place: South Beach Smoke Review.

TheSouth Beach Smokee-cigarette is a very well made device. The basic starter kit will cater for the majority of light smokers and recreational users. Vapour production is better than the “more popular” e-cigs that can be found in the UK and battery life on their Super Max battery per charge is excellent – lasting a full day with heavy vaping. Vaping feels smooth however the throat hit associated with normal smoking is not as significant as either V2 Cigs or Green Smoke even when using 2.4 mg strength.

When vaping there is a louder than usual air intake sound as air is taken in to blend with the vapour as you inhale. This felt a little strange but was also accompanied by a very easy draw – maybe too easy – much less resistance than a normal cigarette so the feeling is not quite the same as when smoking. Relatively very costly cartomisors/refills will affect ongoing cost.

Whilst there are draw backs the advantages of reliability and a well manufactured products far outweigh them. Certainly a quality product.

2nd Place: Green Smoke Review.

Green Smokehave certainly come on in the past year or so and feature heavily in some of the e-cigarette reviews. This may have much to do with their successful PR rather than the quality of their device – having said that their product is only second to one. These are highly effective high end quality products delivering an excellent “smoking experience”.

There is significant vapour production which is a must for all those wanting to switch away from traditional cigarettes – many e-cigs just don’t have it but Green Smoke does. There is also a reasonably good throat hit using their high nicotine 2.4 mg carts. Battery life is excellent.

Downside is that Green Smoke don’t offer a refillable option on their cartomizors, no e-liquid option! So they will prove more costly to run in the long term and restrict your choices on what you can and ca’nt vape. There is no PCC option so no on the move charging ability.

V2 Cigs are well placed to take advantage of future legislation as their product offers top of the range quality. Importantly their e-liquids contain no impurities and your e-liquid from V2 is lab tested – a full lab report is available on-line for every batch of e-liquid that gives full details of ingredients.

Their product gives the most vapour, and a realistic and reassuring throat hit. They offer the widest range of accessories of all three companies including a sleek design PCC option so you have more customisation options.

For simplicity they offer the cartomizor option pre-filled with e-liquid but go another step by offering a wide range of e-liquids – a range of tobacco and e-shisha flavours to use along with their clearomisor tank system/shisha pen. (see Ex-Blanks below). With its 4.2 volt battery it is more than equal to any ego at half the size. Their Red and Congress flavours rank in the top of the best tobacco taste e-liquids available. Many E-Cigarette reviews also show that their menthol flavour is exceptional. Refill running cost is relatively cheap and with the e-liquid option you can save even more.

For the purist they also offer their “Ex Blanks” carts which are a straight forward clear mini tank system that you can simply fill using any e-liquid, and coupled with their high power battery (we like the black battery with this option!) you can vape all day effortlessly. In the early days poor quality batteries forced the market to introduce the oversized and rather clumsy “mod” or Ego type electronic cigarette – now V2 technology allows for a 4.2 Volts / 380 mAh battery in a neat and tidy design – I would suggest that this may well make the mods obsolete. V2 Cigs is much closer to the feel of normal smoking which is important especially when you start out. Something vital that the “mods” are lacking.

To get a feel for things. A standard pack of cigarettes weighs around 24 grams and the standard V2 Cig comes in at 17.5 grams (they do a smaller one too). Some E-Cig Reviews show that the new Innokin ranks well in the ego/mod type e-cigarette space. But this weighs in at a whopping 73 grams. It is over twice as long as a cigarette and over 4 times heavier than the V2! Quitting or reducing the smoking habit needs a practical solution to make it as easy as possible.

V2 Cigs has a new designer range of batteries now out in the USA and coming to the UK soon – including a carbon fibre look that doesn’t light up at the end! [ Video here]. They also offer a range of elegant e-cigs for women –Vapor Couture (See VC UK site or VC USA site)– not as powerful as V2 standard equipment but excellent vapour compared to the competition and all wrapped up in a neat feminine designer e-cigarette. Their quality products and continual innovation secures their position as the best e-cigarette UK.
